DANCING OUTSIDE at the ICA (formerly Lux) AUG 28

 

Encinitas Friends of the Arts

Being able to hear live music again and to attend the art exhibits have been our biggest highlight this summer. And to that end, we are delighted to once again support LITVAKdance for their upcoming performance on August 28th at the Institute of Contemporary Art, San Diego, North Campus (formerly Lux Art Institute). To purchase tickets please click HERE.

The struggles of the pandemic have been tangible, but inspiration is also all around us. We at Encinitas Friends of the Arts have remained committed to supporting the arts and the artists in our community. We were thrilled to have had the opportunity to sponsor iPalpiti Festival in Encinitas and the Encinitas Art Night. We hope you had the opportunity to attend one of these events. EncinitasArts.org
